Manage Personal Finance

One of the most serious problems facing people today is the continually looming prospect of getting into Financial Debt.

As economies of countries continue to fluctuate, inflation increases and access to money for most of the populations is an ongoing challenge, the temptation to borrow is enormous. In addition, large corporate retailers are continually offering access to purchase goods and services on Account or Hire Purchase, which sound very well to the consumer, but many do not know what they are getting themselves in to.

Part of the problem can be alleviated by understanding how to Manage Finances on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, so each person can understand where they are in terms of their available cash and expenditure to meet basic needs, and the pitfalls out there tempting them into sometimes serious financial difficulties.

You cannot spend what you do not have - this is a simple rule to follow. However, one needs to know exactly what you have before you can really decide whether to afford something or not. This course is the first of several that starts to assist people to understand that only by Managing their Finances, can they really know what they can or cannot afford.
